ALL - INCLUSIVE NARRATIVE EXPERIENCE
per person based on double occupancy
This 2-day private experience takes you to the famous Tres Cruces viewpoint, one of the most stunning sunrise spots in the Peruvian Andes, perched right on the natural boundary between the high Andean puna grasslands and the vast Amazon cloud forest.
Your local guide, who has spent decades chasing perfect sunrise moments here, will lead you along gentle high-altitude trails, point out wild vicuñas and vibrant Andean flamingos grazing in the open plains, and share little-known local stories about this sacred sunrise site. You’ll spend the night in a private premium glamping camp, with heated luxury tents, warm handwoven textiles, and a home-cooked dinner made with ingredients sourced directly from nearby high-altitude family farms.
You’ll wake in the pre-dawn dark to drive 15 minutes to the viewpoint, where you’ll have unobstructed front-row seats to watch the sun rise over a sea of clouds that stretches 200km all the way to the Amazon.
